MIAMI (AP) — Emilio Bonifacio has hit the first opening-day inside-the-park homer in the major leagues in 41 years.
The Florida Marlins’ new third baseman and leadoff batter hit a drive over the head of center fielder Lastings Milledge and circled the bases for a two-run homer in the fourth inning Monday against the Washington Nationals.
The last inside-the-park homer on opening day was by Boston’s Carl Yastrzemski on April 10, 1968.
Bonifacio earned a curtain call from the crowd of 34,323 for the homer, his first in the majors.
No hits for Emilio on Sunday. Good things don't last forever. (I have him on both my fantasy teams ...)
